Original text and translations

How could he live?
How could he rise and walk away?
How could he live today?
How could he roll the stone away?

How could he touch?
How could a man such as he
Open a heart like mine?
How could he know my life?

I heard the words he said
As they gathered 'round
I saw the things he did
And I wondered how -- will my heart allow?

How can I know?
How can I see and not believe?
How can my world remain?
How can my heart refrain?

I saw them run away
Out of fear of him
Only a few had stayed
And took his life within, took his life within

What can I give?
How can I right my life with his?
How can I live today?
How can I roll the stone away?
How can I roll the stone away?
I lift mine eyes; the cloud grows thin;
I see the blue above it;
And day by day this pathway smoothes
Since first I learned to love it.
